Introduction
This is a transcription of the first part of a typewritten document that lists those people whose mortal remains or whose monuments were transferred to the present British Cemetery at Chacarita, Buenos Aires, between the years 1894 to 1927.

This first section lists the 1029 people whose names are on the gravestones that were removed from the Victoria Cemetery, the former British Cemetery, and re-erected at Chacarita. One assumes that this was done by the families concerned.

Jorge Alfonín in his book "Cementerios de Disidentes Protestantes in la Ciudad de Buenos Aires", an author who has written many studies of the cemeteries of Buenos Aires, states on page 83 and 85 that 457 monuments were moved from Victoria to Chacarita. We do not know what proportion of the total number of gravestones that once stood in the Victoria Cemetery this represents.

The second part of the typewritten document lists the names of the 454 people whose mortal remains were transferred and where the graves in which they were reburied in the new British Cemetery are located. This will be published as a separate webpage.

When it came to the transfer of the gravestones, the Management Committee permitted them to be re-erected on the inside of the boundary walls of the new British Cemetery.

This consists of an approximately 3 metre high brick wall, strengthened at approximately 4.5 metres intervals by brick pillars. The monuments are set against the perimeter wall in the intervals between the brick pillars. In the list below, the names are given a location for the gravestone on which they were inscribed by a numerical reference to the interval (or tablón) in which the monument was re-erected.

The first part of the typescript lists, not the gravestones, but the names on them. They are ordered alphabetically, but not in strict order within each letter grouping. The other columns give the interval/tablón number, any additional manuscript notes written on the two sources consulted, and finally the typescript's original pagination.

Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of this list is that the total number of names on each gravestone is not obvious, as those who feature on the the gravestone under their married name are most likely to appear in another alphabetical section of the list.

Another shortcoming of this secondary document that it is only a summary of the data on the gravestones and has to be read in conjuntion with other lists of burials available to family researchers, such as appear on this website.

Nonetheless, I believe that, by publishing this transcription, people will be assisted in identifying and locating the burial place of their 19th century forebears.

On a visit to the British Cemetery in 2000, it was possible to note the text of 38 headstones. These can be found on the Monumental Inscriptions page.
